Everytime I play Bf4 within 5 min my pc just shuts off.Now I know its Bf4 because I ran Unigine valley for 15 minutes after rebooting my Pc and launching Bf4 multiplayer for the 5th time.It shuts down like if someone just yanked the power cord from the wall.Nothing is overheating.

 

Edit:Everything is at stock.

Id think it was overheating? But if it was downloaded via origin, try and repair the game install via origin.

Yes it is but I ran Unigine Valley and it didn't shut my PC off if it is psu is a problem.

I had the same issue for several games such as CS:GO, BF4 (shut down earlier than CS:GO) even though my power supply wan't warm (TX650v2). I would get an extra case fan and either blow into as intake for psu or out for exhaust for psu of the fan grill to make sure that the power supply is not the issue.

I see you've overclocked your CPU. Are you sure it runs stable for a long period of time? Maybe check your voltages.

 

Also make sure you shut off turbo boost

I have my pc now on its side where it can get more air,so I'm going to load up Bf4 and see what happens.

Run every on stock settings, dont overclock. Try running BF4 on stock settings.

So I started playing Bf4 and it didn't shut off when my PC was on its side psu getting more air,so I guess it is the psu some how but only with BF4.Now with it being standing up it shut off with bf4 but when not running Unigine Valley on max 1080p.

 

Edit:I just tried running Valley and with pc on its side and this time it finally made it shut off.I also just looked at the gpu-z log and the highest temp my 7850 went was 64c.

BF4 uses more resources than Unigen Valley. Try the power supply in another computer see if that computer will shut down while running BF4.

 

If it does shutdown, then power supply is the culprit.

If your PC randomly has it's power cut off while you're gaming then it's a power supply issue 99% of the the time. A bad graphics card displays artifacts, random freezes, and display signal loss.
